Abstract
A transmit data formatter is provided for assembling a plurality of 8-bit data bytes into a data message containing a plurality of message bytes. The transmit data formatter includes a receive buffer which receives a data byte from a peripheral processor. A parallel to serial converter receives the data byte from the receive buffer and outputs the data byte serially. A serial to parallel converter receives the serial data byte and assembles the data byte into a partial message byte when seven data bits have been received. A horizontal parity generator connected to the parallel to serial converter develops a horizontal parity bit which is appended to the seven data bits forming a message byte.
